Ramen Taisho (Maxwell)

I’ve always wanted to try @ramen.taisho that’s located in Maxwell Food Centre.It is quite far from my place but with Marketplace@WhyQ, I can now have the ramen delivered to me so that I can enjoy it in the comfort of my own home! How Convenient!

Here’s what I ordered:
🍜Shoyu Black GarlicTonkotsu Ramen Deluxe ($17.8).
🍜X.O Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen Deluxe ($18.9).
🍜Spicy Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen Deluxe ($17.8).

The ramen broth is both flavourful and light and the ramen is even packed separately from the soup so as to prevent it from becoming soggy.

The purity of tonkotsu is never at any point under siege by the salted egg yolk, which gives the savoury broth an Angelina Jolie-esque thick fullness. 3.8/5

Great tasting broth, noodles done just nice. I really like the garlic flakes you can add in. For $6.80, it's great value for a good bowl of ramen.

Noodle and Chashu was good!! But remember to ask for less salty for the broth.

Ramen Taisho has found new digs at Maxwell Food Centre after closing it's only store at NTUC Foodfare The Clementi Mall, joining the leagues of the young hawkers that had been recently sprouting up at Maxwell Food Centre (PS: Lad & Dad previously at Serangoon Gardens Food Centre opens at Maxwell Food Centre today as well with a broader menu). The menu only offers three types of ramen; Standard Ramen, Ajitama Ramen and Cha Shu Ramen.

Quality is pretty consistent as what I had previously — the Tonkotsu broth is thick without being overwhelming while the Cha Shu Ramen also comes with bamboo shoots, Cha Shu, thin ramen noodles, spring onions and roasted seaweed; the egg comes as an add-on for $1 extra. The thin noodles were slurpy with a good bite; pretty springy while the Cha Shu comes without the pork stench, yet carries a light meatiness with a layer of fat at the ends for the extra chew on top of the leaner strip of meat. It's pretty decent for $8.80 ($9.80 with the egg) — a good and affordable option for those looking to get their ramen fix during lunch hour at a food centre without forking out too much.

Located within the NTUC Foodfare foodcourt in Clementi Mall, Ramen Taisho is the place to go to when you're on a tight budget and ramen cravings strike. It is unlike any run-of-the-mill ramen stalls usually present in foodcourts. For one, the thin, stringy noodles are made fresh daily and the flavourful broth is prepared in-house by slowly simmering pork bones. The famed Tonkotsu Ramen ($6.90) comes topped with two pieces of chashu, a molten egg and spring onion — a popular amongst budget-conscious students. If you have two bucks to spare, get the Ramen Deluxe ($8.90) instead and be rewarded with five pieces of chashu!
Avg price: $10 per person

$6.90

Who'd knew that NTUC Foodfare would offer food that's more than mere sustenance? (okay, 老火汤's pretty good)

Usually, mall foodcourts feature only one generic, token Japanese stall, but Clementi Mall's tally now stands at 4, with latest addition Ramen Taisho joining "Japanese Food", "Japanese Curry" and Pepper Lunch Express. Stiff competition for a foodcourt.

For its very agreeable price of $6.90, you get homemade ramen, two slices of fatty chashu and a molten half-egg, immersed in a decently rich tonkotsu broth that tastes leaps & bounds above its Kopitiam counterparts.

Recommended for all impoverished secondary school students nearby who are still priced out by Yoshimaru Ramen Bar's weekday specials.
